About this study

In plain language

This study looks at whether help with food, household needs, and emotional health can help children and families. It aims to support families who do not always have enough food and mothers with depression. It is for adult caregivers of children ages 0 to 36 months who are staying at Texas Children's Hospital.

The main goal of this research is to help families who are experiencing food insecurity (FI) and help mothers with depression. The next goal is to provide other resources to help with household needs like rent or utility assistance, health insurance, anxiety, and depression. Our theory is that helping with food insecurity, household needs, and emotional health will help children and families.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
